A Virginia paper on 3/22/09 reported that the new CIA head-Leon Panetta-was in Pakistan to discuss war strategy against terrorists. The paper said "the US is concerned that political turmoil in Pakistan is distracting its government and army from combating Islamist insurgents..." Don't they see that the opposite is in fact the case. The US and Pakistan effort to combat "Islamist insurgents" is threatening the "political turmoil" in a "nuclear-armed country". What good will our policy be if in the end it results in the creation of another "failed state"?
